Treasure hunter
This could be a quiet rural scene, photographed by a remote coastal area or the edge of some distant lake. But this on the River Thames, taken from bustling Putney Bridge and next to the hubbub of London life. The man is scanning the edge of the water with his metal detector and looking for some valuable treasure hidden beneath the pungent mud.
The feel of this shot reflects the sense of a maudlin day when the sky was blanketed in thick cloud and the light was flat and unyielding. I’ll share another of these images tomorrow (Friday) and thoughts on how to tackle such days with your camera.
Great effect, love it :)
Thank you!
Very nice. I like the tones and the feelings the shot evokes.
Thank you very much, I’m glad to hear it. You can never discount even the dankest of days for photography!
Love it. Composition is amazing!
Thanks so much, Danita. I’m beginning to think that flat days have their good sides!
Great colours! :)
Thanks Richard. Or lack of them?!
The muted sepia tones work really well! :D
Ha! Well it was a depressed photography day, if I can call it that.
Great monochrome color and composition, works really well!
Greetings, Ron
